This is, hands down, the best piece of gear that I own. It's feather light and far warmer than the 25 degree rating suggests. I've slept comfortably in it at 15 degrees while using my down jacket as a pillow. This bag has three features that I love. First, the draft collar prevents warm air from escaping via the hood of the bag. Second, the draw string around the ankle area prevents the foot of the bag from growing cold when you curl up into a fetal position. Third, the stretch fabric allows for all sorts of night-time gyrations. I've never slept better in the backcountry than I do in this bag.
